Morning Musings: Levi Lusko on Masks & Knowing Who You Really Are

 

Still reading Levi's book every morning and still finding gems like this one.  Here's a few things I noted from today's reading.  I hope they encourage you as much as they did me!

  • Luke 12:2, "You can't keep your true self hidden forever; before long, you'll be exposed.  You can't hide behind a religious mask forever; sooner or later, the mask will slip and your true face will be known."

  • God's blessings are not determined by OUR behavior!  God's blessings come FIRST, completely undeserved.  This is what changes our behavior.  We call this GRACE.

  • We can't numb emotions.  When we numb NEGATIVE emotions, we also numb POSITIVE emotions.

  • When we put on a mask in hopes of finding acceptance, people can't love who they don't know.  

  • People get to know the MASK, not the real you.

  • Masks keep us from receiving God's blessings!

  • God can't use who you WISH you were; He uses who we REALLY are!

  • It is all about what GOD thinks, not what I think!

  • WHAT YOU WEAR TO OBTAIN, YOU MUST WEAR TO RETAIN!

  • You don't need approval from ANYONE because the only likes that matter are from HEAVEN - and they are already yours!

  • Prayer:  "God give me the strength to live an unmasked life."

  • Points to Ponder:  My mask might be impressive but it's NOTHING compared to the fearfully and wonderfully made AUTHENTIC me that GOD MADE IN HIS IMAGE.
